English football will embrace semi-automated offside technology from next season, with the system expected to cut VAR delays by 30 seconds.

Premier League clubs voted unanimously yesterday to introduce the new system, which has been deployed successfully in the World Cup, Champions League and other major domestic leagues.

But there will be a further delay to its arrival, which is not scheduled until after ‘one of the autumn international breaks’ next season. 

Mail Sport understands the hold-up is because league chiefs want to ensure there are no glitches in the system when it is launched.

So, how will it all work and what will it look like on TV?
